An item holder primarily containing two parts: a ball shaped element and a clip. The clip can be seated neatly into a cutout in the ball shaped element. The clip can also be designed as a divot tool or a spike and contains a clamp that can be used to hold a cigar or cigarette, support a golf club or have other uses. The ball shaped element is sized to fit neatly into the ball bracket on any pull cart or motorized cart equipped with such a bracket.

An exercise ball with internal weight with two shell portions, at least one internal plate weight, and at least one strap with engaged with the plate. The shell portions have at least one internal plate relief, and at least one external relief formed on an outer surface of the shell to allow access to an inside of the shells. The plate has at least one alignment aperture for retaining the plate in the internal plate relief of the shell portions, and at least one connection area comprising a slot on the plate to allow the attachment to slide therethrough to retain the plate in the relief of the shell portions. The strap extends outside of the shells through the at least one external relief when the two shells are connected together around the plate.

The multi-modal portable exercise equipment of the present invention includes matable first and second generally hemispheric exercise half bodies that in mated condition provide a generally spherical exercise ball that in one exercise modality of the multi-modal portable exercise equipment of the present invention is attached to external exercise equipment such as the cable of an exercise machine or resistance band and can be used by a subject for strength and other allied training exercises and that in another exercise modality thereof the first and second generally hemispheric exercise half bodies in unmated condition each provide a freestanding generally hemispheric exercise half body and can be used by a subject for balance and other allied training exercises. The first and second generally hemispheric exercise half bodies in unmated condition are each constituted of a plurality of spherical caps in nested relation that may be unpacked and used by a subject for balance and other allied training exercises of low, medium and high use difficulty.

An exercise apparatus configured to combat postural maladaptations is provided. The exercise apparatus includes a rigid central spherical body having a channel passing through the center thereof through which a resilient band may be passed. The resilient band is removable and may be made of any suitable resilient material, such as, for example, a rubber material. The central spherical body may be formed of any suitable rigid or semi-rigid material that resists deformation.

A toy ball is disclosed. In preferred embodiments, the toy balls comprise a ball with a hollow interior wherein the ball has a minimum diameter of fifteen inches or greater; and a pocket coupled to the ball wherein the pocket includes an opening sized to accept a human hand.

In general, an exercise device includes a handle having a first end and a second end. A curved member is coupled to the first end of the handle. A movable member is coupled to the curved member, with the movable member configured to travel along a length of the curved member, where the movable member has a first portion and a second portion, and the second portion is configured to move relative to the first portion. An elongate member has a first end and a second end, and the first end of the elongate member is coupled to the second portion of the movable member. A weight is coupled to the second end of the elongate member.

A training apparatus for training a user's grip and strength. A rod element is disposed through a female tube that is disposed at a first end of the rod. The rod extends through a male tube that is inserted into at least a portion of the female tube. A grommet is disposed on the rod, inside the female tube, and abutting the male tube. A fastening means couple to the first end of the rod, mitigating movement of the grommet toward the first end. A tensioner is rotatably attached to a second end of the rod, wherein when the tensioner is rotated clockwise it presses the male tube forward against the grommet, which is compressed between the male tube and fastening means, expanding inside the female tube. The grommet pressing against the inside of the female tube provides a desired resistance for a user rotating an attached training member.
